Full Job Description
How We Operate
  • Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.
  • Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
  • First principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
  • Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

The Data Center Operations Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on
  • Operate at the scale of a nation, not a building. The fleet you run will draw more power than some countries, on the way to 100 GW.
  • Fly the plane while it's being built. Sites come online in pieces, and you keep the live ones running flawlessly while construction continues around them.
  • Write the playbook, don't inherit it. No prior operations org has run at this speed and scale, so the standards you set become the standard.

Role Scope
  • Lead the IaaS team delivering compute to customers: provisioning, isolation, and lifecycle across the fleet.
  • Own the platform layer between bare metal and customer workloads: images, networking, and storage integration.
  • Build self-service capability so customer onboarding shrinks from weeks to hours.
  • Set platform SLOs and the engineering priorities that hold them.

What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've led teams building IaaS or cloud platform layers.
  • You've designed multi-tenant isolation that customers trusted with real workloads.
  • You've cut onboarding or provisioning time by an order of magnitude somewhere, and can say how.
  • You balance platform roadmap against operational load honestly.
  • Bonus: Bare-metal provisioning. GPU virtualization and passthrough. Kubernetes. Cloud networking.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
